Indoor and outdoor setups

For the CREW project, two experimentation setups are available.

The indoor lab features 5 eNBs and 4 UEs. While the hardware itself is stationary, the Tx and Rx antennas can be positioned anywhere in the lab room. Further, four additional UEs are mounted on studio racks/carts and can be moved within the building. The approximate transmit power is 15 dBm.

The outdoor lab consists of two base station sectors that are fixed on two opposing corners of the faculty building, approximately 150 m apart. In addition to the mobile indoor UEs from setup 1, three rickshaw UEs are available for outdoor experiments in the vicinity of the building. There are also 6 batteries which can supply an UE for around 2-4 hours. The transmit power is approximately 30 dBm.
